Nuvia is a startup aiming to make server chip in a more Apple style. They have some serious heaveyweight designers including people who worked on Apple's chips and have gotten a lot of investment.
I don't think the most important thing here is the ISA. A64 is a pretty nice and I don't see any reason you would want to be incompatible with it, especially since getting an ARM architecture license requires you to be compatible with other ARM chips. But Amazon isn't going with Apple's very wide and deep pipeline strategy and there's nothing to say that other ARM chips would either.
